Chapter 110 The Fruit of Time
Ye Jing guessed almost exactly what the purpose of Lin Manyue's words in front of her was. On the one hand, she wanted to show off her relationship with Ning Yi, and even the long-standing friendship between her Lin family and the Ning family; on the other hand, it was a sense of crisis. She must have felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in herself, so she was so eager to show herself off.
Doing so will not only make her want to retreat due to her inferiority complex, but will also likely cause her to misunderstand and create estrangement with Ning Yi because of the relationship between their two families and the so-called engagement.
As expected of someone who has lived in this kind of circle since childhood.
If Ning Yi had not told her the whole situation at home, if Ning Yi had not secretly told her to be wary of Lin Manyue, if she had not experienced the ridicule from Wei Hong and her classmates, and most importantly, if she had not believed in Ning Yi and believed in the relationship between her and Ning Yi that had gone through thick and thin, perhaps she would have foolishly stepped into Lin Manyue's trap like those twenty-year-old girls.
Ye Jing took out a piece of paper from the paper tube hanging on the wall and wiped her hands. She interrupted Lin Manyue's chattering and said, "Ms. Lin, right? I'm Ye Jing. You should just call me by my name from now on. I'm really not used to being called sister by someone I'm not that familiar with."
"Ah?" Lin Manyue paused for a moment while putting on makeup, and her eyelashes slowly drooped. After a while, she raised her tearful eyes and looked at Ye Jing pitifully, saying timidly: "Sister Ye, I call you that because I really like you. Because Brother Ning and I are very close, no girl has ever wanted to be friends with me since I was a child... But you are different, you give me a very kind feeling, really like my sister..."
Seeing this, Ye Jing's mind was in turmoil, but her face remained unchanged. She smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Lin for your kindness, but it's a pity that I can't reach her. I'm just a child from an ordinary family, and I have nothing to do with Miss Lin's circle. If you call me sister and others hear it, I will inevitably be gossiped about."
Lin Manyue's eyes flickered, and she blinked and said quickly: "I, I didn't mean it, I was inconsiderate, I won't call you sister anymore."
"Thank you." Ye Jing nodded and turned to walk out the door. Halfway through, she turned back and said with a smile, "By the way, Ms. Lin, I have a boyfriend, Ning Yi. So he and I are not good friends. I am his girlfriend and fiancée. As for the engagement you mentioned, he said he never acknowledged it. I am the only fiancée he has recognized."
Hearing this, Lin Manyue's whole face suddenly turned red, and her hands on the edge of the sink slowly clenched unconsciously.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I need you to introduce me to a boyfriend." Ye Jing continued, a sardonic smile flashed across her slightly curved almond eyes. After a pause, she smiled as if she remembered something and said, "Oh, Miss Lin, you are also very beautiful. If necessary, I can also introduce you to the young talents around Ning Yi."
After saying that, Ye Jing left, leaving Lin Manyue alone in the bathroom.
As the footsteps faded away, Lin Manyue recalled the scenes over and over again in her mind, and she couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Ye Jing, that commoner girl from nowhere, actually dared to laugh at me. She actually dared to do this to me!
This was the first time that Lin Manyue had been humiliated like this in her entire life!
She would make Ye Jing pay ten or a hundred times the price for what she had said.
Lin Manyue's heart was filled with anger, and her pretty face was distorted. Her pitiful expression had long been replaced by anger and unwillingness.
She stood motionless in front of the sink, her hands tightly gripping the edge of the sink, as if she was going to crush it at the next moment.
She slowly lowered her head, her soft hair falling down her shoulders to both sides of her cheeks, hiding the expression on her face, but the gloomy aura emanating from her body and her constantly rising and falling chest showed that her condition was not good.
"ah--"
Lin Manyue screamed angrily, waved her hand and threw the cosmetic bag beside the sink to the ground. After a series of crackling sounds, the ground was in a mess.
After venting a little of the surging anger in her heart, Lin Manyue closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a while, she raised her head and looked at the mirror in front of her, gritting her teeth and saying word by word: "Ye Jing, you are great, I really underestimated you, just wait and see, the best is yet to come!"
Since the falling out had been resolved, the two of them got along much more normally afterwards.
Lin Manyue's attitude towards Ye Jing finally behaved like an upper-class lady. Xie Fei had expected this change in her and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Jiang Wei frowned again, puffing up his cheeks and muttering to himself, "Women are really strange. How come they become a different person after going to the toilet?"
After saying that, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He stood up and filled another bowl of rice.
While Jiang Wei was eating, Xie Fei held the suitcase in one hand and pulled Ye Jing with the other, and first sent her to the booked hotel. Before leaving, they agreed to come to see her the next afternoon.
By the time Jiang Wei finished his meal and got in the car, it was already late.
Driving the car, Jiang Zhiguo first sent Jiang Wei and Xiao Yumo, who were closer, home. Then, when he was about to send Lin Manyue home, Lin Manyue suddenly said, "Uncle Jiang, you don't have to go back to my house. I agreed with Aunt Ning to stay at Ning's house today."
Jiang Zhiguo nodded and was about to agree: "Okay, Miss Lin..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Fei, who was texting Ye Jing in the back seat, raised his head and looked over coldly, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and ordered Jiang Zhiguo, "Send her home."
Jiang Zhiguo's nodding motion faltered. He saw Xie Fei's indifferent expression and extremely cold attitude from the rearview mirror. He blinked in surprise, smiled helplessly at Lin Manyue, and said, "Yes, Master."
The smile on Lin Manyue's face froze after Xie Fei finished speaking. When she met Jiang Zhiguo's eyes, she reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth. After a moment, she turned her head to look at Ning Yi who was typing on his phone.
The bright yellow lights streamed through the windows in the car, combined with the blue light from the phone screen, making Ning Yi's angular face look particularly good, especially the corners of his lips that were slightly upturned in a smile.
However, Lin Manyue felt that this smile was very dazzling. She took a few deep breaths to suppress her unwillingness. She looked delicate and said in a wronged tone, "I have already made an agreement with Aunt Ning. Please let me stay at Ning's house tonight."
Xie Fei refused without even raising his head: "No."
"Why not? This is not the first time I've lived in the Ning family. When I was a child..." Lin Man felt more and more aggrieved.
Xie Fei, however, showed no sympathy. He interrupted her with a cold face and said indifferently: "You also said that was when you were a child. Now you are not a child anymore. Don't you know that living in the Ning family will bring me trouble?"
Lin Manyue said quickly: "I will be very good and will not cause you any trouble——"
Xie Fei finally raised his head and looked at her directly. Although the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, there was no smile in his eyes. He slowly opened his lips and said in an unusually cold voice: "To me, you are trouble."
Lin Manyue's eyes became moist almost instantly. She looked a little dazed, her body shook involuntarily twice, and crystal tears flowed down her face.
The car suddenly became quiet and no one spoke.
Jiang Zhiguo listened to the low sobbing sound coming from his ear, and thought in his heart that the young master's venomous tongue was increasing sharply. Although he felt a little sorry for this young lady who was crying because of anger, he did not dare to interrupt.
No matter how popular he was in front of the old man, in the eyes of the young master of the Ning family, he was still just a servant serving the master.
But the atmosphere in the car was too weird, so he quietly stepped on the accelerator, and soon the car arrived in front of the Lin family villa.
Lin Manyue sniffed, thanked Jiang Zhiguo with red eyes, glanced at Ning Yi who didn't even look at her, pursed her lips, got out of the car and went home.
…
Xie Fei hadn't been home for more than two years. When he came back, Grandpa Ning waved his hand and handed over a lot of things to him. He had finally squeezed out time to see Ye Jing these days, and had no time to accompany her shopping to prepare things for meeting his parents.
Xie Fei felt very sorry, so he hurried over and finally finished about 70% of the work. He then contacted Ye Jing to go shopping, but he didn't know that Ye Jing hoped he would delay for a few more days.
The next morning, when Xie Fei went downstairs, he saw Lin Manyue and Ning's mother sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting and laughing. He went straight to the restaurant for breakfast without stopping.
In the past few days, this woman came to Ning's house almost every day. Except for saying "If she stays at Ning's house, I will move out" when Ning's mother invited her to stay at home, he simply ignored her afterwards.
While comparing the two newly bought jade bracelets, Mother Ning asked Lin Manyue, "Man'er, can you help Aunt Ning see which one looks better?"
Unexpectedly, there was no answer for a long time. Ning's mother turned her head and saw that Lin Manyue was looking at her son's back at the dining table absent-mindedly.
Mother Ning understood immediately. She smiled and said, "Son, I heard from your father that you are almost done with work, right?"
Hearing this, Xie Fei said "hmm" indifferently. Mother Ning didn't care about his cold attitude and smiled, "That's perfect. You can go out with Man'er today. She has been studying abroad for four or five years and she is not very familiar with this place."
Xie Fei slowly swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then stood up and looked at Ning's mother, saying indifferently: "I have been away for two or three years, so I don't remember it very clearly. No one is more familiar with D City than mother, so you should take some time to take Miss Lin around."
Mother Ning was choked and opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to refute. She glared at Xie Fei, then glanced at Lin Manyue's aggrieved and pitiful face beside her. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Son, since you have nothing to do today, why don't you take us shopping? It happens that you are not familiar with D City, so mom will be your tour guide today."
Xie Fei paused: "I already have an appointment, sorry I can't keep you company."
"A date?" Ning's mother frowned in confusion, then said, "What date can you have? Most likely you are going to see Xiao Yumo and the others. Your mother hasn't seen you for more than two years. Can't you accompany me? Can a date be more important than accompanying your mother?"
"No, the date is more important." Xie Fei said solemnly. After that, he walked directly to the entrance to change his shoes and went out without slowing down his steps.
The author has something to say: ??Ning's mother: I have confirmed through eye contact that this is my biological son~ He has forgotten his mother after getting married QAQ
Xie Fei: Actually, I am not your son.
